NO SCHOOL ~ OCTOBER 16TH
Reminder ... Friday, October 16th is a Teacher Professional Development Day. There is no school for students.
EARLY DISMISSALS
We understand that sometimes early dismissals are unavoidable, but when students leave school early, they miss valuable instructional time. Even just a few minutes at the end of the day can mean missing directions, class discussions, or important closing routines that help students connect their learning. Frequent early dismissals can add up quickly, resulting in lost opportunities for growth.
As a reminder, school hours are 7:45am - 2:15pm. Thank you for helping us maximize every moment of learning by keeping your child at school until dismissal whenever possible.
FRONT CAR LINE DISMISSAL
When arriving for afternoon dismissal in the front pick-up loop, please do not advance past the cones if you are in the inside lane. Filling both the curbed lane and the inside lane blocks cars from leaving and prevents emergency vehicles from accessing the building. Cars in the inside lane should not advance until the cones are moved at approximately 1:50pm.
